First track day 2010

craigsutton » Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:40 pm

Ok, how did everybody do? I know Rich was going somewhere yesterday, did anybody else go out?

Here it was right around 45 degrees F and raining a little, then snowing a little! The track was so cold my Michelin Pilot Race tires barely got warm. I had my first real OH **** moment on the track where I came out of a very slow right hander onto the front straight and started to get on it when the back tire slid out. It happened so fast all I did was gasp and almost loose consciousness, but it hooked up quick enough that I didn't highside. Took the better part of that lap to calm down and get my butt muscles to loosen up! I want to learn from everything, but honestly it happened so fast I doubt there was much of anything I could have done had it kept going on me.

It sure was nice knowing that my SP was safe at home the whole time! Building a dedicated track bike is the way to go.
